If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 639db596165746ca87bbcb56559b094fd9042890 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 12 May 2016 18:04:16 +0200 Subject: ALSA: au88x0: Fix zero clear of stream->resources From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 639db596165746ca87bbcb56559b094fd9042890 upstream. There are a few calls of memset() to stream->resources, but they all are called in a wrong size, sizeof(unsigned char) * VORTEX_RESOURCE_LAST, while this field is a u32 array. This may leave the memories not zero-cleared. Fix it by replacing them with a simpler sizeof(stream->resources) instead.
